Synopsis of Honey Lemon Soda
For 15-year-old Uka Ishimori, high school was the
toughest experience she’s ever had. She was nicknamed “Stone” because she
always froze in front of others and was bullied as a result. Now, at high
school, she has the chance to start over and improve. But during her first
week, she is accidentally doused in juice by her classmate Kai Miura, a
striking boy with lemon-colored hair.
On paper, Kai is everything Uka lacks: he's popular,
aloof, and bold enough to speak his mind. Despite their polar opposite
personalities, Kai encourages her to slowly come out of her shell, offering a
helping hand when others shy away from it. While Uka initially wanted to forge
friendships, she's realized her true feelings: she's fallen in love with Kai.
What started with a lemon soda is about to change Uka and Kai's lives forever.
